SHORTWAVE NOTE: If you’re completely new to shortwave or need
a ‘refresher’, see the special shortwave section toward the end of this
manual.
There are two ways to select shortwave.
1. Sequentially press the ‘METERBAND’ button (10) until the short
wave band of your choice is selected.
2. The seven most popular shortwave bands can also be accessed
with the F1-F7 buttons (F1=49m, F2=41m, F3=31m, F4=25m,
F5=22m, F6=19m and F7=16m). In each method, the last used
frequency is automatically displayed. To tune-in shortwave stations,
use the tuning methods described earlier. Below is a band chart
showing the G5’s shortwave coverage.
